Deloitte has been appointed to help the two authorities to undertake some high‐level, broad‐based work to determine where such collaboration might create significant opportunities for savings / service improvements. The collaboration opportunities identified will comprise one of a range of options that will be considered by both authorities in their response to their current and future financial pressures, Government reforms and local needs. This report documents the work undertaken in examining the collaboration opportunities that exist in relation to the delivery of cultural and leisure services and the findings of that work which will be presented to the Project Board for consideration. 2.2 Key Drivers of the Project Outlined below are the list of key drivers, agreed by both Corporate Management Teams, which set out the reasons for pursing a feasibility study into a strategic collaboration between Darlington and Hartlepool Borough Councils. These are: • Having a sustainable financial future • Supporting democratic accountability and choice • Shaping their own destinies by being ahead of the game • Stimulating and informing wider partnership working across the region: by providing leadership • Optimising outcomes for local people: by retaining a focus on the need of our local communities • Continuing to support sustainable and resilient communities: by remaining committed to our strategic priorities 2.3 Guiding Principles Outlined below are the guiding principles which have been agreed by both Corporate Management Teams. These guiding principles have been used to ensure that the opportunities developed comply with both Councils strategic objectives. Guiding Principle 1: Each Local authority will retain their individual identity and sovereignty Explanation: • The ability of citizens to hold their Members to account must remain paramount • Each authority will define the outcomes for the local population and how these are delivered 4 V1.0 FINAL Collaboration Feasibility Project: Culture and Leisure 08/06/11 • Investment priorities and service levels will continue to be determined locally • Members have the choice to standardise or customise services, with a clear understanding of the costs and benefits of the decisions they make • It will be critical to recognise the difference between who is accountable for a service versus who is providing a service • Statutory responsibilities will not be undermined Guiding Principle 2: Collaboration is not limited to Darlington and Hartlepool Explanation: • While the feasibility of collaboration between the two authorities is being tested, it is not the only option • Opportunities could include other authorities • Opportunities could include other public organisations • The benefits or disbenefits of collaboration between the Councils will be looked at on a service‐by‐service and thematic basis rather than “all or nothing” • At the same time, the collective benefit of strategic collaboration through synergies will be evaluated Guiding Principle 3: The authorities enter this process with a positive view of collaboration Explanation: • Strong leadership and clear direction will be key to ensure this study delivers an robust and balanced set of conclusions for consideration • The output of this project will be a strategic assessment of opportunities, symbolising the start of a decision making process, not the end. The timeframes and level of information available are proportionate to the status of the project and require a measure of pragmatism • Individuals who have been involved in transformation should be encouraged to champion the principle of collaboration during this study • It remains clear that ‘doing nothing’ is not an option for either authority. Guiding Principle 4: Collaboration must deliver demonstrable additional benefits to working separately Explanation: • Collaboration will create a renewed level of resilience within each local authority. A resilient organisation will have the right skills, the right capacity and the critical mass to deal with future pressures • Collaboration will deliver the expected level of financial benefits required to mitigate the financial risks projected 5 V1.0 FINAL Collaboration Feasibility Project: Culture and Leisure 08/06/11 • Collaboration will create the robustness to mitigate operational risks • Opportunities will consist of a combination of service‐specific opportunities as well as cross‐cutting opportunities / synergies 2.4 Evaluation Criteria These guiding principles will be evaluated to determine the extent to which the opportunities deliver against the key drivers of this project. The key questions to be answered for each opportunity are as follows: 1) To what extent does the option meet our key drivers? 1.1) Sustainable financial future 1.2) Supporting democratic accountability and choice 1.3) Shaping our own destiny 1.4) Stimulating and informing wider partnership 1.5) Optimising outcomes for local people 1.6) Sustainable and resilient communities 2) To what extent does each Council retain its sovereignty? 3) To what extent does the option bring additional benefits? 4) To what extent does the option support each Authority’s strategic design principles? 2.5 Strategic Scope It was agreed by the Corporate Management Teams of both

  • Hartlepool Borough Council Church Street
    Economic Growth Advisors Programme Hartlepool Borough Council Church street - Creative industries cluster strategy I Key themes covered by the case study An economic growth strategy Summary Objectives The main objective of the Economic Growth Advisers project was to create a strategy for the development of a creative industries cluster of businesses within the Church Street area of Hartlepool based around the internationally renowned Cleveland College of Art and Design and Hartlepool Art Gallery in Hartlepool’s Innovation and Skills Quarter. The project is aimed at increasing the contribution of the creative sector as an economic driver for the regeneration of the area. Intended approach The intended approach was to test and develop the proposition that the economic prospects of Church Street can be enhanced through the creation of a cluster of businesses focussed around creative, digital and media industries, whilst offering graduates from Hartlepool College of Further Education and Cleveland College of Art and Design the opportunity to establish their own businesses. The approach was based on a review of best practice, an assessment of a series of projects that can contribute to the development of a sustainable creative industries quarter, the identification of potential delivery models and funding streams, and the production of an action plan for the implementation of the strategy. What were we looking to achieve Hartlepool Borough Council were looking to develop an economic growth strategy that would develop the creative industries cluster concept, explore the feasibility and delivery mechanisms of the proposals and examine best practice from other localities. The intention is that the strategy and action plan will also help to guide a Regeneration Master plan for the Hartlepool Waterfront and town centre, which aims to set out a site-specific vision for the delivery of a prosperous town centre and marina.

  • Teesside Countryside Directory for People with Disabilities
    Teesside Countryside Directory for People with Disabilities Second edition Whatever your needs, access to and enjoyment of the countryside is rewarding, healthy and great fun. This directory can help you find out what opportunities are available to you in your area. Get yourself outdoors and enjoy all the benefits that come with it… Foreword written by: Jeremy Garside, Chief Executive of Tees Valley Wildlife Trust This directory was designed for people with a disability, though the information included will be useful to everyone. Alongside its heavy industry Teesside has some fantastic countryside. There are numerous parks, green spaces and nature reserves which provide excellent opportunities for countryside activities, from walking to wildlife spotting. It is more than worth taking that first step and getting yourself involved in your local countryside, regardless of your abilities. For people interested in wildlife and conservation there is much that can be done from home or a local accessible area. Whatever your chosen form of countryside recreation, whether it’s joining a group, doing voluntary work, or getting yourself out into the countryside on your own, we hope you will get as much out of it as we do. There is still some way to go before we have a properly accessible countryside. By contacting Open Country or another of the organisations listed here, you can help us to encourage better access for all in the future. This Second Edition published Spring 2019 Copyright © Open Country 2019 Foreword Getting into the countryside is such an important thing for all of us. There is nothing better than the natural environment for the body and soul.

  • Suffrage and Suffragettes in the Hartlepools, 1869 to 1919
    Suffrage and Suffragettes in the Hartlepools, 1869 to 1919 The early years The organised fight for the right of women to vote in the United Kingdom goes back to the early years of the 19th Century, when popular movements began to directly criticise the traditional and often corrupt system of selecting the all male Members of Parliament. While partially successful through winning the 1832 Reform Act, which extended voting to 1 in 7 men based solely on their ownership of property, the same Act explicitly banned women from voting. There was slight progress in 1869 when the Municipal Reform Act doubled the number of eligible male voters in local elections, and allowed a very small proportion of richer women to vote as the head of their household. The Hartlepools had supported this act, submitting a local petition requesting suffrage on 14th July 1869, and directly benefitted through gaining the right to elect its own MP for the first time. In 1872 the fight for women's suffrage became a national movement with the formation of the National Society for Women's Suffrage (NSWS), and later, the more influential National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS). On the 12th March 1872 the corporation of West Hartlepool submitted a petition in support of a second attempt by Jacob Bright, the MP for Manchester, to get a Women’s Suffrage Bill adopted into law. His bill was supported locally at a meeting at the Temperance Hall on the 8th April where the leading campaigner Lydia Becker, the founder of the Women’s Suffrage Journal, Isabella Stewart and the Rev.
